The Canyon Neighborhood Association is open to participation from all residents of the Santa Fe Canyon area. This encompasses the geographical environs east of Cristo Rey Church including Cerro Gordo to the north.

A Board elected from the area’s residents takes on issues as required in an effort to keep lines of communication open for all, and attempts to present the desires of the membership to our City’s elected officials when a lone voice may be otherwise overlooked. Those living outside the Canyon are welcome as well, if they want to address concerns they might have with respect to the neighborhood.

Board meetings generally are held the second Monday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Randall Davey Audubon Visitor Center at the very end of Upper Canyon Road. During COVID meetings were held virtually and we still sometimes meet via Zoom. Everyone is welcome in person or on Zoom!

Let us know if you are interested in joining the CNA board or one of our committees.
